In "The Emperor's New Clothes," a vain emperor is obsessed with fashion and spends lavishly on elaborate clothing. Two swindlers come to town, claiming to create an exquisite outfit that is invisible to anyone unfit for their position or who is exceptionally foolish. Eager to impress, the emperor pretends to see the clothes and parades in his new “attire.” The townspeople, not wanting to appear incompetent, also feign admiration. It isn’t until a child innocently exclaims that the emperor is wearing nothing at all that the truth is revealed, exposing the folly of vanity and pretense.

The Emperor's New Clothes
Once upon a time there lived an emperor who loved clothes and was extremely vain. ‘I must have a new outfit for the royal procession and I need it to be designed by someone totally splendid’, he demanded of his butler. The emperor was warned that a new outfit would be very expensive and there wasn’t really much money to spare for new togs, but he was adamant. The palace put out a proclamation asking that splendid fashion designers put themselves forth for interview to design a royal outfit for the royal procession. A pair of chancers thought they would give it a go. They flattered the emperor to such an extent they managed to convince him that no clothes at all were ‘an outfit fit for a king that and visible only to clever people’. On the day of the royal procession no-one dared tell the emperor that he was starkers for fear of being accused that they were stupid. But the truth was in any case revealed when a little boy shouted ‘Oh my, the emperor has no clothes on!’.
